I want to install a countertop bar above the worktop and plan to use these angled bracket supports for it. However, the bar countertop is 50 cm wide (20 inches). At Ikea, a 40 cm wide (16 inches) countertop is mounted – which actually looks sufficiently stable.

Do you think that a width of 50 cm (20 inches) would be too unstable, or should I maybe use four brackets instead of just two (the first option would look better)? What are your experiences, if any?

Hello schrauberine

The Capita bracket is very sturdy, but it depends on the length of the board. For `"table dancing" I would actually use 4 legs (just kidding).

Now, my real opinion: from 140cm (55 inches) onwards, I would consider using a third bracket, or a fourth if it’s even longer.

Best regards,
